New York Times: Putin May Be CIA Agent

Donate

On April 3, The New York Times published the article of Thomas Friedman, posing his ridiculous question “Is Putin a CIA agent?”, before unloading on the Russian president unfounded allegations, personal grievances, and impotent rage.

“Putin has undertaken so many actions in recent years that contributed to the weakening of Russia’s economy and human capital base that you have to wonder whether he’s secretly on the C.I.A.’s payroll” , Friedman wrote.

According to Friedman, the rebuilding of Russia by nurturing human talent and strengthening the rule of law was too hard for Putin. By contrast, he decided to look for dignity for Russia, by developing oil industry and strengthening the Russian military.

Friedman blamed Putin’s authority among Russian citizens, saying “Putin consistently acts like a farmer who sells his most valuable beef in return for cubes of sugar. That is, he looks for short-term sugar highs to boost his popularity with his Russian nationalist base because he is insecure, and pays for it by giving up real beef, leaving Russia weaker in the long term”.

Presenting the boldly speculations without any evidences, he brought up the crazy idea that “in 2014 Putin seized Crimea and invaded Eastern Ukraine with disguised Russian troops” to slow Russia’s growth by imposed sanctions.

Friedman described Russia’s “intervention” in Syria as “another short-term sugar high for his base.”

“Putin sent advisers, Russian Air Force jets, special operations teams and surface-to-air missile batteries to Syria to prevent the toppling of Russia’s Cold War ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad”.

The newspaper also blamed Russia in all “dead sins”: the “Novichok” production, poisoning of the Russian ex-spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the UK, the creation of the cyberagent Guccifer 2.0, which hacked the National Committee of the Democratic Party in 2016.

Concluding, Friedman supposed that Putin did so many “foolish” actions to undermine and make weak Russian economics and its citizens.

What is Friedman target? He blames Russia and indeed Vladimir Putin. Obviously, Friedman wants to be bad as he regularly uses his column to blast US President Donald Trump or whoever else contracts his brand of New York Neoliberalism.

Putin is a Klingon. That’s why I have time traveled back to 2018 to effect his arrest! :D

Lets see how all those zio trolls (starlight and likes) are jumping all over this. Regarding that pathetic article – so it is CIA meddling with Trump elections?

Ronald

You sort of have it there. The Skripal affair is useful towards the cold war build up, but the fact that Facebook is a CIA creation, and the fact that it was caught “harvesting” 50 million Americans personal data is the real reason for the cover-up.

russia is gas station and nothing else. 140 000 000 citizens produse italy DGP (55 000 000 citizens without oil and gas). russia is middle age country. the first and last normalleader was Peter the Great.

Hi idiot

Dušan Mirić

I don’t know the man and his relevance but it seems that Americans are in deep s,, trouble…

Claire Langoulant

Jews are sluts and pathetic !

russ

Huh, good question… I don’t even know what Jew means. It isn’t a race, it isn’t a religion, it isn’t a nationality, it for damn sure isn’t God’s people. It is I guess is an agenda. It is served by a group of people best described as predatory parasites. They only believe in money, that is their god. They only have loyalty to each other if it doesn’t cause them personal pain. They are the most self absorbed “people” the world has ever seen in an individual sense.

Boris Kazlov

Hey, Rachel Maddow is a man, call him faggot.

Acko Manah

You DON’T know that. I’ve had the misfortune of being in the USA! There are “things” who claim to be women but they’d have fooled me! I saw a shmuk with a full beard and voice to put fear into my soul! the mofo said this and *I am not lying*: He is a transgender male to female He is an atheist muslim Plus more stuff

Folks? Am I totally insane or is this dude sort of lets say it: Fucking Crazy?

Terra Cotta Woolpuller

The Kabala Jews are the real problem as they are the worst and seem to follow the Agenda of Zionism more than any other Jew.

Michał Hunicz

What a load of crap. Ahhaha!

Dušan Mirić

Margarita Simonyan wrote recently something like “we don’t respect the West any longer”. That’s why.

Sakaramanga

Relax Americans, its our guy ! LoL

Sephy

Just put some hair on putin’s head. He would look like Sephiroth from FF7

John

It’s the NYT, what does anybody expect?

There is a pattern here – numerous ethnic Ashkenazi Jewish commentators employed in the US MSM from Max Boot to Rachel Maddow to Thomas Freidman really, really, hate Putin. There are a few ethnic historical reasons, but primarily it’s because Putin has neutralized the Neo-Con plans, to destroy and redraw the boundaries of Syria, Lebanon and Iran, based around the radical prioritization of Israeli interests and security. The anti-Putin fervor, and hysteria, of these particular media commentators is essentially coming from a tribal mindset and fury over this issue, but this real motivation is never openly or honestly acknowledged in broader US public forum. Neo-Cons think of changing the middle eastern map in ancient destructive terms – like Rome versus Carthage. Rome saw Carthage as a competitor to full domination of the Mediterranean Sea, so entered into prolonged series of zero-sum wars to destroy them. Utterly, slaying their population, razing their cities and actually salting the very earth of these sites.

Rodger

I don’t know what Putin did to trigger this guy but I hope he does lots more of it. Anyway if the CIA had people like Putin the US position in the ME wouldn’t suck so hard even after spending $10 trillion there in the last 15 years.

the jews still cannot move on the failure of the regime change

Ariel Cohen

It is well known in certain circles that Friedman has been a magic mushroom addict for many years now. This could explain his hallucinatory writings. There has been solid evidence provided that when he is not on mushrooms, he is quite a reasonable, logical journalist and seems to be at least temporarily in touch with some form of actual reality . .

Kolo

Is that when he becomes a faggot?

Yui2

Hahahaha what an idiot. Expanding a nation’s territory is leads to difficult short-term situation due to diplomatic sanctions and similar, yet long-term gain due to taxing the new citizens and industries in the captured land. Complete opposite of what this moron is saying. Nobody will care about Russia annexing Crimea in 100 years, yet the taxes from Crimea will still go to Russian national treasury

FlorianGeyer

More importantly the US/NATO fleets were prevented from occupying Crimea as they intended.

Rafael

“Putin has undertaken so many actions in recent years that contributed to the weakening of Russia’s economy and human capital base that you have to wonder whether he’s secretly on the C.I.A.’s payroll”

That is only a longed ziojewish wet dream.

russ

The Njew York times really, really, really wishes Putin was a CIA turd, but with their availability to the real njews they know better. Just another fake njews spin.

j. jaxson

Friedman master of jewish disinfo campaign.

just another zionist jew talking trash

Thomas Friedman classic zionist subhuman spreading his venom between the people to gain benefit in the chaos

Ariel Cohen

No, he doesn’t even deserve a name with any word “human” in it . .

zman

Well, that was a rather amazing departure from reality. Only someone from another planet (or the US/Europe) could believe such a compilation of Angus by-product. Hello, here is the most inane collection of lies and mis-info for your humorous pleasure, compliments of the twilight zone. If this manure spreading fool were to believe his craptrap, then a comparison to the state of the US/west would likely cause him to believe the Lil Dictator and the Keystone Kop version of the SS were in control of the west….oh, wait…never mind.

Roger Snellman

So Trump is under investigation for collaborating with the CIA. Would almost rather have him collaborating with Russia just like Obama.

You can call me Al

NO, NO – that is what I thought at first. Read the article again, not Trump, but Putin.

Roger Snellman

More fake news to stir up hatred between Russia and US while insulting Putin at the same time. Everything bad is Russia’s fault. Then they imply it is all really US fault since Putin works for CIA.

The world knows Putin bows to no one.

Cheryl Brandon

Fortunately for most people, we do not get our information from NY times. 21 st Century i/Uk Column news/The Saker and SF are far more accurate. Putin will die before he works for the CIA.

The only American Jewish voice I pay attention to in regards to Russia is that of Professor Stephen F. Cohen. Beyond that most American Jews in the media (like Friedman) are rabidly anti-Russian and I think that goes back to the time of Tsar Nicholas and then to Soviet Times when Stalin purged the Trotskyites.

Ariel Cohen

They hold grudges and enact revenge(served cold) sometimes centuries after they have been offended. Some have conjectured that their hatred for Germany goes back to how they were treated by Lutheran Germany during the 17th Century . .

This is the most sheer and utter bullshit ever coming out of the Jew York Times in quite some time.

If anyone seriously believes this crap, then I have a few pyramids to sell to you!

Ariel Cohen

The New York Times is the flagship of the Zionazis. It used to be the International Herald Tribune, but for some reason the Zionazis prefer the NYT now. Like rats that infest a rotten food cupboard, they have their dirty favorite places to gather and excrete their distortions and lies. .

alejoeisabel

Tom’s main “intellectual” weapon is the big lie, and his secret mentor is Joseph Goebbels.

Valery Grigoryev

Looks like some peculiar humour.

The New York Times jumps the shark

Thomas Friedman was writing “Parody Comedy” and please everyone have a good guffaw over it and get back to the serious and more interesting matters, rather than trivial nonsense.
